Sadzīvošana. Etnogrāfiskas pārdomas par attiecībām mūsdienu Latvijā
2022
Grāmata ir antropoloģisks vēstījums par cilvēku attiecībām mūsdienu Latvijā. Sadzīvošana vairs nav viennozīmīgi pozitīvs vārds un iezīmē attiecību pārrāvumu, piespiešanos uzturēt attiecības, kur to vairs nav. Grāmatas virsrakstā tas ir palicis kā atgādinājums par savstarpējo attiecību dabas maiņu mūsdienu dzīvē cerībā, ka ar laiku mēs varēsim sadzīvošanu reabilitēt un piešķirt tai sākotnējo vērtību - būt ciešā sadarbībā un labās attiecībās citam ar citu. Pirmā grāmatas daļa ir veltīta bērnu audzināšanas paradumiem un to maiņai. Otrā sadaļa pievēršas pāru attiecībām un ģimenei. Trešā sadaļa aptver kaimiņattiecības un cilvēku sadzīvi kopienā. Pēdējā sadaļa ir veltīta vecumam.

Combining gestures and vocalizations to imitate sounds
2015
International audience; Communicating about sounds is a difficult task without a technical language, and naïve speakers often rely on different kinds of non-linguistic vocalizations and body gestures (Lemaitre et al. 2014). Previous work has independently studied how effectively people describe sounds with gestures or vocalizations (Caramiaux, 2014, Lemaitre and Rocchesso, 2014). However, speech communication studies suggest a more intimate link between the two processes (Kendon, 2004). Our study thus focused on the combination of manual gestures and non-speech vocalizations in the communication of sounds. We first collected a large database of vocal and gestural imitations of a variety of …
Comparing identification of vocal imitations and computational sketches of everyday sounds
2016
International audience; Sounds are notably difficult to describe. It is thus not surprising that human speakers often use many imitative vocalizations to communicate about sounds. In practice,vocal imitations of non-speech everyday sounds (e.g. the sound of a car passing by) arevery effective: listeners identify sounds better with vocal imitations than with verbal descriptions, despite the fact that vocal imitations are often inaccurate, constrained by the human vocal apparatus. The present study investigated the semantic representations evoked by vocal imitations by experimentally quantifying how well listeners could match sounds to category labels. Itcompared two different types of sounds…

Precise chronology of Polynesian temple construction and use for southeastern Maui, Hawaiian Islands determined by 230Th dating of corals
2015
International audience; Emergent archaic states in pre-contact Hawai'i used a ritual control hierarchy implemented through a system of temples to manage production, extract tribute, and reinforce the legitimacy of the ruling elites. Based on a limited sample of precise 230Th dates from coral offerings on Maui Island temples it had been hypothesized that this temple system rapidly expanded during the period from A.D. 1580–1640. We tested this hypothesis by obtaining an expanded sample of 39 new 230Th coral dates from temples in Kahikinui District, and one sample from the summit of a cinder cone that likely had ritual significance. Combined with seven coral dates previously obtained, this yie…
Barriers to human development : a case study from the southern province of Sri Lanka
2011
Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon - Universitetet i Agder 2011 This master thesis focuses on barriers of human development in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. According to the new view of, the effect of foreign aid should be measured on the basis of more variables than economy. This thesis has been based upon the dimensions of: the socio-economic situation, health, education, gender issues, family and network, caste, and Government and NGO’s. Due to expert- and empirical interviews, all of these dimensions were found to have a negative effect on the human development in the Southern Province, accept from family and network. Family and network were found to have a positive effect.…
